Litter-Robot 4: Is It Worth the Splurge?

The price tag is the first thing anyone asks about, so let's start there: it's expensive. But after three months running it with two cats, the time saved on scooping and the near-total odor control made a strong case for itself.

Setup

Setup took about twenty minutes, including the companion app pairing, which sends a notification every time a cat uses it.

The catch

One of our cats took nearly two weeks to trust the automatic cycle — if your cat startles easily, expect an adjustment period.
